General Description
Construction Product Regulation
To meet the requirements of the Construction
Products Regulation 1st July 2013 Advanced Air fire
dampers meet the requirements of the Product
Standard BS EN 15650 with a classification under BS
EN 13501-3 as stated in our Declaration Of
Performance that has been assessed by the notified
certification body BRE who have issued a Certificate
of Consistency of Performance No:0832-CPR-P0005.
The model 2550 is designed to prevent
the spread of fire and smoke through
ventilation ductwork in walls and floors.
From receiving an alarm the power to
the damper actuator is removed
releasing the actuator spring to release
closing the damper. The dampers also
include electrical thermal sensor and a
secondary mechanical fusible link that
prevent the damper from opening if the
temperature has reached 720C.
With the introduction of Construction
Product Regulation on the 1st July
2013 all fire dampers are required to
meet the product standard BS EN
15650. To achieve this standard the
damper has to be tested to BS EN
1366-2 dynamic fire test. The dampers
are then classified to BS EN 13501-3
that clearly states the integrity of the
damper also in the way that damper
was installed in the furnace. The
standard also now included testing of
fusible link to ISO 10294-4 that
comprises of a dynamic release and
holding tests.
The maximum single section unit
tested was 1000mm x 1000mm for both
the HEVAC and AFS frame. The
damper has been tested both ways
round in both wall and floor
installation's so there is no issue in co-
ordination caused by working out which
side the fire will be on.
The damper is supplied complete with
actuator pre-wired into a junction box
complete with test button reducing time
and work on site. The dampers can be
supplied with long spigots for installing
access doors (optional) or short to
reduce on space.

labelling and that dampers have to be
installed as tested Advanced Air through our
design and development program are
please to launch the AFS installation
system that simplifies damper installations
for customers.
This new system is unique to Advanced Air
and offers one solution for fire smoke
damper installation in walls. Using Firebatt
that is the accepted standard on sites to
finish damper installation. Our fire smoke
dampers have been successfully tested to
BS EN 1366-2 with the same method in
both Blockwork and Drywalls.
The added benefit of this system it is
adjustable allowing the drop rod supports to
be positioned to suit the site conditions

HEVAC Wall Installation - E120
Installation & Maintenance Instructions
Installation Procedure
1. Vertical builders work barrier to have an appropriately
sized lintel to ensure an opening clearance for the
expansion frame.
2. The opening in the wall must be cleaned, free of dust and
any other contaminants which could impair the mortar
adhesion. A clearance gap 25mm (min) to 50mm (max)
must be maintained around the expansion frame of the
fire damper (barrier contractor).
3. The damper shall be fitted centrally in the wall opening.
4. The tabs on the factory fitted galvanized steel expansion
frame shall be bent out to tie the damper into the wall with
the penetration seal.
5. The “Penetration Seal” must have a structural and fire
rated compatibility with both the barrier and the damper
and have sufficient strength to retain the fire damper
within the wall in a fire situation. (4:1 Mortar Mix).
6. The Mortar Mix will be applied up to the installation frame
face, take care not to leave any air pockets in the mix.
7. The ductwork connecting to the damper spigots must
overlap by 40mm, leaving a 10mm clearance for any duct
expansion in a fire situation.
8. All ductwork connections must be sealed with an
approved ductwork sealer, and fixed with low resistance
fixings such as: aluminium alloy rivets or nylon bolts.
9. All connecting ductwork must be independently supported
within 1meter of the connections.
10. An Access cover should be fitted on the appropriate side
of the barrier to enable inspections and maintenance
work.
Pre Installation Notes
1. Ensure that the damper is kept in a clean dry
environment and that there is no damage to the damper.
2. Remove all packaging and transit ties before installation.
Maintenance Procedure
 These dampers are installed as a life-safe product and will require regular physical and visual examinations. It is essential
that that the assembly is kept in a clean, dust free condition at all times.
 It is essential that an access door has been provided in the adjacent ductwork to facilitate the inspection and maintenance.
 Ensure that no physical restriction of the blades has occurred during the installation process.
 Remove any dirt or debris built up in the damper, apply a little WD lubricant or light oil, any excessive oils should be wiped
away.
 Check the operation of any ancillary products that may be fitted.
 Examine the fusible link to ensure that no corrosion has occurred and that the plates are free from distortion and are in good
condition to operate when required.
 Close the blade pack by manual operation and examine the blades to ensure;
 They are in the fully closed position and have located in the ramps.
 They are all position in the frame correctly i.e. square to the frame.
 They are all in a clean condition.
 The period between maintenance checks can best be ascertained by system conditions or as directed by local regulations
for ventilation plant and ancillaries, but should not exceed a maximum interval in excess of twelve months.
 The report should be completed following the Maintenance Procedure included within this document.
